The tram here is used in order to get to a connecting tram station near the entrance to the Devil's Pit. However, a ticket is needed in order to open the turnstile and use the tram. This ticket can be obtained by completing the Jail Break arcade game, which was located in the tram station before it was dragged away to an outhouse in the Devil's Pitstop; however, some tokens needed to work this arcade game can be found on the station counter.

Once puzzle has been completed, and the ticket has been retrieved, Murphy can use the turnstile and board the tram to the Devil's Pit.

Trivia

Below the Aerial Tram Station is "The Souvenir Shop", however the building is inaccessible.

One of the posters for the Aerial Tram depicts a man in a wheelchair whose face is scratched in. This is most likely a reference to the Wheelman.
